Rich Paul:
“I got guys, 22, making $200M over the next 4 or 5 years. I'm constantly telling them that's not a lot of money based upon where you're starting, because you're starting from zero… Not to mention jeans today, the ones they want that they're buying in excess, which they probably don't really need, cost $2,000… No athlete can afford to fly private all the time, yet we see so many athletes on Instagram flying private. I fly Delta.”

Also to add, Shawarma is very great meal. It's a Middle Eastern wrap made with Flat bread, a lot of well seasoned meat, vegetables like onions, cucumbers, pickles and garlic sauce, tahini or yogurt sauce.
We (Nigerians) have given it an extra touch by adding ketchup, mayonnaise, cabbage and even sausages.
How you make your shawarma would determine how healthy it can be.
My recommendation: Focus on the protein, Add enough vegetables, use a good dressing not too much, they are calorie and fat dense and if possible, remove the Franks.

To have a successful career, you need three things:
A coach: Someone with the tools and know-how to help you sharpen what is at play. They are usually certified.
A mentor: A senior person who has walked a similar path to yours.
A sponsor: A senior person who mentions your name in places you cannot access. Sponsors choose you because you are AUTHENTIC AND DEPENDABLE. You will not stain their white because their name carries weigh
seen a lot of people not understand this.
so let’s explain.
let’s say a land in Lekki is selling for ₦10m today and you think it’ll be worth ₦20m next year but you don’t have ₦10m right now.
so you meet the landowner and say “I’ll pay you ₦900k today just to reserve my right to buy this land at ₦11m anytime within the next year.”
the owner agrees.
two things can happen:
1. land goes to ₦20m → you exercise your right, buy at ₦11m, immediately sell at ₦20m.
profit of ₦9m. all from a ₦900k deposit.
2. land stays at ₦10m or falls → your reservation expires worthless. You lose the ₦900k.
the landowner keeps it and moves on.
the person who just bought the land outright?
they spent ₦10m. Land went to ₦20m, they made ₦10m profit.
good.
but you made ₦9m with only ₦900k.
thats the power.
but if land crashes to ₦5m, they still have land worth ₦5m.
you have nothing. your ₦900k is gone.
simple rules:
- only do this when you’re very sure the price will jump
- don’t use money you can’t afford to lose
- don’t wait till the last minute to cash out
That’s LEAPS.

Photography becomes powerful the moment people feel something from it.
Without emotion, a photo can look technically good but still feel empty or forgettable.
As photographers, connecting emotion to images is important because emotion is what gives photographs life, memory, and meaning.
🚨 Paolo Maldini on the difference between defenders of his generation and today's generation:
"In our generation, defenders were judged by how many goals they prevented. In today's generation, defenders are often judged by how many attacks they create."
"We spent most of our training learning how to mark strikers, win duels, and read danger before it appeared. Modern defenders spend just as much time learning how to play like midfielders."
"A defender from my era could have a great match without touching the ball much. Today, a defender may touch the ball a hundred times and become one of the most important players on the pitch."
"Neither approach is better or worse. Our job was to stop football. Their job is to start it."
"The game has evolved, but the greatest defenders in any generation are still those who know exactly when to defend and exactly when to play."
I learnt something early on in the photography business.
At the time, I was working as a photographer for photography company.
We had several set of clients. We did work for Conglomerates, organizations, individuals, events (birthdays to fashion) etc
The thing I learnt was that most of these clients had a relationship with my boss. They were on first name basis kind of relationship.
Relationship will build your business.

@dondekojo and I had a $100 bet on Arsenal vs Man City winning the league.
He won yesterday and, instead of taking the money, asked me to direct it to a better cause, which I’m now very grateful to be part of.
There are a few talented Nigerian kids set to represent the country at an international chess tournament being hosted in Nigeria for the first time, but some of them can’t afford the €180 registration fee.
I’ve just donated $500 to cover two participants, and still can’t for the life of me believe that a 2000-rated FIDE player almost missed out on this opportunity because of registration fees.
It’s honestly embarrassing cos you’d expect something like registration fees for kids representing the country to be covered by a government body, federation, or something idk
If you can support one child, two children, or even contribute whatever you can, please do.
Sometimes the difference between a gifted child competing on the world stage and watching from home is just a few people like you reading this deciding to care.
Abeg support these guys however you can.

After four years full of challenges and hard work, it's time to move on.
I leave with the feeling that the mission is complete. 4 seasons, 3 championships.
I will never forget the love I received from the fans from my very first days.
Catalonia is my place on earth.
Thank you to everyone I met along the way during these beautiful four years.
A special thank you to President Laporta for giving me the chance to live the most incredible chapter of my career.

I barely knew the answers to the questions but I answered anyway, I was so sure I was saying nonsense I giggled right in the middle of speaking
